Chapter 1243: Emperor Yassin’s Battle Plan
“I have tried to save Emperor Yassin. After all, he was a warrior who I admired. He was able to defeat me, a demi-god, as a peak Burning Sun Lord; his martial talent was even greater than mine. Although we fought fiercely more than ten times, he was the only person who I considered as a true friend,” Messi sighed, “However, even the methods that I thought were perfect without shortcomings were rejected by Yassin.”
Fei was surprised as he asked, “He rejected them?”
Messi nodded and said earnestly, “That’s right; he rejected my proposals. To protect that key, he decided to seek death. You are a smart man; you should be able to guess why he did it.”
Fei was silent, but he soon understood the entire situation.
Emperor Yassin was a genius and a legendary ruler. Even the Continental Martial Saint seemed slightly inferior to him.
Emperor Yassin sought death only for one reason, and it was to protect the key that Messi mentioned.
According to the prior speculation, Emperor Yassin had the bloodline of the Demon Clan, and he shouldered the ancient demons’ wills and responsibilities to protect this secret item that concerned the fate of the continent. When he was still alive, he detected that the Polluters’ hidden force on the continent was moving, and the situation was getting out of control.
Under such a situation, the most terrible thing happened; this dark force detected the existence of the key and where it was. Therefore, it directly waged the war against the Zenit Empire.
If Emperor Yassin decided to escape, this force would chase after him.
The Zenit Empire wasn’t stronger enough to fight against the Holy Church which was controlled by that dark force. Although Emperor Yassin was a talented figure with exceptional power, he couldn’t make sure that the key would be safe if many masters attacked him at the same time. If the key fell into the hands of this dark force, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Emperor Yassin used a secret plan. He handed the key to Messi, a person who he completely trusted, in secret.
Messi’s identity was unique, and the Holy Church would never place suspicion on him.
Then, Emperor Yassin used the Zenit Empire and his death to cover everything.
After Emperor Yassin died and the Zenit Empire got conquered, the dark force had no clues left after unable to find the key in the empire, and it couldn’t continue its investigation.
Fei sighed.
To protect this secret, hundreds of millions of Zenitians died under the blades of Barcelonans, and Emperor Yassin died in front of Messi under the watch of people like Busquets, Alves, Pedro, and secret masters of the Holy Church.
This was a tragedy.
It was hard to say that Yassin was cruel to let hundreds of millions of Zenitians die with him to protect this secret. Perhaps from Yassin’s perspective, this price was worth it to protect the secret item that could dictate the fate of the continent.
Even Emperor Yassin’s beloved second son Dominguez died in this cruel war.
“Before he died, he laughed and believed that you will avenge him one day. Now, it seems like his trust in you wasn’t wrong. Perhaps even Yassin couldn’t imagine that you are now ruling the continent in such an invincible fashion.” Messi smiled and said, “‘Yassin is inferior to no one.’ Although Yassin died, he planned everything. Your current domination proves that the price that he paid was worth it.”
Fei didn’t know what to say.
Fei had a unique attitude toward this man who was only proved to be his father after the latter died. He truly admired this master who was charismatic and wise.
In terms of the father-son relationship, there was only a sliver of emotion, and it came from when Emperor Yassin’s imperial power of faith turned into Fei’s power and inspiration when the latter was cultivating in the [Banished Land].
After all, Fei’s soul was a young man from Earth.
The real Alexander had died long ago and disappeared from the world.
Fei had thought about seeking revenge; he had considered wiping out the Barcelona Empire and killing the members of the Holy Church who were close with Platini and Blatter. However, after thinking about the bugs that were going to descend in ten days, Fei suppressed his murderous spirit and only took out the evil and cruel leaders.
Today’s meeting with Messi surprised Fei; he didn’t know this giant secret at all.
“After you returned from the [Banished Land] with dominance, the Holy Church created several plans against you and Chambord, yet they all failed. The Holy Church gradually couldn’t handle you. I’m sure that the appearance of the goblins, Platini, and others in the Southern Region are all related to this. Since I must safeguard the key, I needed to act low-key before I could get a good read of the situation. When the meeting at the City of San Siro took place, I still decided to hide to see if the Holy Church was purified like what Stabila had said. It is good that you now control everything.”
While speaking, Messi opened one of his hands, and a streak of golden light slowly floated up through his palmar creases. He continued, “This is the key. Now, I need to give it back to you since you have controlled the continent.”
The streak of golden light slowly flew to Fei and landed in his hand.
This streak of golden light wasn’t tangible; it was a streak of mystical energy. It condensed together, containing an amount of power that even scared Fei. It was fortunate that this power was warm, gentle, and not aggressive. Otherwise, Fei couldn’t even handle one strike from it.
“This is… a power seal beyond the Supreme God Realm.” Fei was stunned as he thought, “Could it be… this is the gift from the God of Creation from the primeval time?”
The only power above the Supreme God Realm was that of the God of Creation.
“Except for this key, I have another good news for you.” Messi smiled and said, “Emperor Yassin prepared another gift for you. With this key, you can open a path across the endless mist and abyss. There is a godly primeval island, and on it are two exceptional commanders who you can completely trust and one million soldiers.”
…
-Two days later-
On this beautiful and mysterious island, Fei saw the one million Zenitian soldiers who had disappeared before Barcelona invaded Zenit.
When St. Petersburg was conquered by the enemies and Emperor Yassin and Second Prince Dominguez died in battle, Elder Prince Arshavin and Elder Princess Tanasha who were in charge of more than 70 percent of Zenitian military mysteriously disappeared with close to one million soldiers. They weren’t heard from again.
Fei didn’t think that he would see them again at this place.
“Royal Father already expected this day to come.” The Elder Princess looked at Fei with a complicated expression and said, “Royal Father said that we can’t choose the Azeroth Continent as the battleground when fighting the Polluters. Otherwise, we will lose for sure.”
“Not on the Azeroth Continent… then where? Could it be…” Fei suddenly thought of something.
The Elder Prince nodded and added, “That is right. We must attack them head-on and ambush them on the way! We must destroy… or at least defeat them before the Polluters land on the continent.”
